II. OXCART RECONNAISSANCE OPERATIONS PLAN

1. The required photographic coverage of North Vietnam will be accomplished by the OXCART vehicle operating from Kadena Air Base in Okinawa. This operating location at Kadena has been prepared for OXCART operation for some time.

2. Operational missions will be planned, directed and controlled by the Central Intelligence Agency Operations Center. Three OXCART aircraft and the necessary task force personnel will be deployed from Area 51 to Kadena.

3. With this inventory a minimum of nine (9) successful operational missions per month can be flown consistent with available weather. Overcast skies are predominate feature associated with the monsoon season and limit the number of days suitable for the effective photographic reconnaissance. As the monsoon season wanes, the number of clear days increases permitting more frequent, repetitive reconnaissance coverage. Missions will be launched on a twenty-four hour alert basis. This will permit maximum utilization of the favorable weather available. In addition to the operational missions flown, necessary test and proficiency sorties will be flown from Kadena. OXCART aircraft will be rotated [redacted] to maintain the required number of operationally ready aircraft at Kadena.
